School Care

Before/After School Care, School Breaks and Summer Camp

Once your child is in school, The Learning Garden provides safe and supervised care before and after school.

Children attending Lancaster Central Schools can have the bus pick them up at our doorstep in the morning and returned to us after their day at school. In the afternoon, we provide a snack and homework help if needed. Once their homework is complete, we have age appropriate activities and games to keep your child busy until you arrive.

We also provide care for school holidays and closing for all school aged children.

Here’s what some of our parents are saying!

“I cannot say enough about the staff at the Learning Garden! As a foster parent, I appreciated their attentiveness and their flexibility. Great communication! They gave our little guy the utmost attention, such a great start!”

Liz C.

“These women are the most wonderful ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My kids have been coming here for the past 7 1/2 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. They have become family and I recommend this center to everyone I know! ”

Jennie P.

“Definitely recommend! I looked at a lot of other daycares and The Learning Garden is by far the best! My daughter absolutely loves it there! The staff is wonderful and the amount of things my daughter learned was outstanding. ”

Summer Camp

During the summer months, we expand our school-age program to include summer camp!

Parents are given the summers schedule so that they can select the days they would like their child to attend. This allows parents to customize their child’s schedule based on your families needs or the activities or field trips planned. The flexible schedule provides parents the peace of mind in knowing that your child is safe and supervised all summer long.

When it comes to the campers, our summer camp program is designed to keep them busy and happy while encouraging continuous learning. Our program includes a lot of indoor and outdoor play, weather permitting. We also plan field trips to places throughout WNY. When we’re at the center, we host special events and we always have a big end of summer celebration to wrap up the summer camp session.
